I’ve hit the dreaded stall! 3.5 weeks out from surgery so it was kind of expected but still really annoying. I’d hoped to lose another 10 lbs by Christmas but I can’t see that happening now. Anyone else in the same boat?

I have finally pushed on through. I was stalled between week 2 and 3. it will be 4 weeks for me on Thursday and its coming off again. It is frustrating but it does happen and you will push through. Be strong, you've got this!

It is frustrating! My pain has finally gone so I feel much more like myself but it seems like the pain went and was replaced with a stall! Just trying to focus on my exercise plan for the new year now so I have something to think about instead of the scale. Did yours just last a week?

Unfortunately, no. I am looking at my app and it was from Dec. 5 to Dec. 14. So 10 days.

Ahh well. My wife finishes work for Christmas on Friday so at least I’ll have something to take my mind off it!

Yes, you can go for walks with your wife. Your 10 pounds will come off....just not always when we want it by. But at Christmas you will be better than you were 1 month ago and certainly better than last Christmas!

Mine has slowed to 2 lbs. but I am still losing. It had been 4 lbs. a week.I’ll take what I can get. I did discovered a new Breakfast for me tho, — Skippy Protein Peanut Butter AND LIGHT ENGLISH MUFFINS! A VERY WELCOME CHANGE!!

Always good when you find something that suits to eat! I’m still on puréed/soft food (and supposed to stay on this until week 8) but I have to admit, I’m not completely sticking to puréed foods-mainly because I can’t stand them!

Don't you love finding something new?? The different tastes are so welcoming. When I was able to have a few crackers I was in heaven! I find I eat the same thing for at least 5 days because it lasts so long. My head is still in the "make extra".

Grammie, did you find that after the stall you were consistently losing 4 pounds a week up until now at 2 pounds a week?

The 2 lbs. IS my stall. It hasn’t changed for 2 weeks. This may not be my stall, but I’m 6 weeks post op. I’m sure there will be more stalls according to all I’ve read so far. We just gotta keep keeping on!🤺

In the last few days, it's slowed down for me. bouncing back and forth a few tenths of a lb. I was hoping to be down 50 by the end of the year... Nevermind on that lol

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
